[Comprehensive Book] A Rose for Catherine

Elizabeth looked down at the above content, and Catherine sat on the bed with her hands behind her back, explaining to her: "Lizzie, you know, I am doing something. And this invitation is my payment for doing these things."

She entrusted Uncle Gardner to represent her first novel, and advertised in newspapers to attract a noble lady——Catherine did not specify the identity of this noble lady. It is likely to be Her Royal Highness Princess of England, but Made a veiled hint.All kinds of things were explained by Catherine in the shortest time, and she even mentioned that she met a like-minded pen pal because of her novel writing and publishing.

Of course, the pen pal matter was taken lightly by Catherine.

"My God, this is unimaginable." Elizabeth returned the invitation. "But I don't think it's completely incomprehensible that it happened to you. After all, I know you are different from the rest of the family. Kitty .”

Elizabeth said, gradually becoming as relaxed as ever: "So you must go to London."

"Yes." Catherine nodded, "It just so happened that my mother found a reason for me to go to London." That's why Catherine didn't rush to refute Mrs. Bennet when she was in the living room. It was easy for her to think up her own ideas.

"But if I'm going to London, my mother will definitely let me go to the city with my uncle and aunt. So I have to discuss this matter with them. I hope Uncle Gardner can pamper and protect me again!"

"Uncle and aunt will definitely support you." Elizabeth said firmly, "But you can't keep your identity a secret forever. Dad and the others will find out sooner or later."

Catherine didn't intend to keep her family secret. She said to Elizabeth: "You are right. I can't hide it from them forever. So I am going to find a suitable time to tell them about it. I only hope that my mother will not So angry."

At that time, she should have informed her family of her decision not to marry for life.

Elizabeth thought she was talking about writing, "It doesn't matter. Dad is very open-minded and won't object to your writing, and neither should Mom. It's not a bad thing for her. Seriously, there will be no There's nothing worse than not having an heir in the family."

Catherine was amused by her: "I will disclose this matter to my family when the time is right, but I don't plan to disclose my identity to the public for the time being. Lizzie, it will do me no good, but it may damage your reputation."

Elizabeth wanted to say that even if Catherine's identity was made public, those people in society would have objections to their family, but that might not be as bad as the bad influence brought about by their mother's outrageous words and deeds.Thinking this way, she didn't care about the bad situation that this identity might bring.

"Jane and Lydia are also going to London for those dresses after Christmas, and you must accompany them along the way." Elizabeth thought about her sincerely, "I don't think your behavior can be hidden from them, especially Jane."

Elizabeth knows Jane very well, understands Jane's delicate sensitivity under her gentle and slender appearance, and Catherine's wrongness must not be able to deceive her.

Catherine knew this.When she first came to this world, this big sister who was not very close to her was the first to notice that something was wrong with her.Fortunately, Jane is easy to trust others, especially those close to her, which makes Catherine confused.

however--

"Actually, I'm not going to hide them. I already told Lydia when I was in London, and I won't hide it from Jane." Catherine directly stated her plan, "Even this time I want to take Mary with me, Sharon will also discuss some philosophical issues, and I think she will be happy to go out."

It was not good for Mary to be bored at home reading all day, it would dull a young girl, and Catherine wished she could make some acquaintances.She knew that Mary was not disliked by nature. As the daughter in the middle, Mary was not as gentle and beautiful as Jane, humorous and lively as Elizabeth, cute and bright as Lydia, and her sisters made her mediocre. , she can only use her energy to study, make up for her inner self, and make people look up to her.

But the more esoteric books she read, the more people avoided her.

Elizabeth was surprised for a moment, and immediately realized: "This is a good thing."

"What about you, Lizzie? If we all go to town, you'll be the only one left in the house."

Charlotte was to be married immediately after Christmas, and if all the sisters went to town, she would really be left alone at Longbourn.

She thought of these with a look of hesitation on her face.

Catherine strikes while the iron is hot: "Why don't you go to the literature salon with me, I know you like reading, and you can also accompany Jane at the same time."

"Then I'll go with Jane." Elizabeth thought for a while, "but I won't go to the literary salon. I haven't read as many books as Mary, and I can't write interesting stories like you. And those nobles Miss may not be easy to get along with—"

Elizabeth was a little worried about her younger sister's trip. A woman like Caroline without a noble title is already so proud, so those real noble ladies must have many daughters who look down on country gentry.

Catherine couldn't laugh or cry: "Lizzie, I can handle this well. Besides, someone will help me then." At least the people in Princess Charlotte's line will not deliberately embarrass her.

Elizabeth was persuaded by Catherine's kind words, and temporarily let go of her worries.

Catherine turned around and told Mary about the invitation to the salon. Mary struggled for two hours when she went back to her room, and finally gave Catherine a positive answer.

Now that the five sisters are going to London, Mrs. Bennet has no dissatisfaction with this. There are no outstanding single young people in Longbourne, so it is better to go to London to try their luck.

Thinking of London, she looked forward to Lydia going to the city this time and meeting Brett again.It would be great if he could propose sooner.This time Brett sent an expensive Christmas gift, successfully impressing Mrs. Bennet, who already regarded him as her son-in-law in her heart.

After she was happy for the younger daughter, she went to urge the eldest daughter to let Jane not forget to visit the Bingleys when she went to the city.Jane simply pretended not to hear.

Now only Mary's marriage has not been settled at all. As soon as Catherine asked Mary to accompany her to the city, Mrs. Bennet urged Mary to nod, hoping that she could meet some bachelors through the light of a few sisters.

After Mrs. Bennet murmured again, "You really don't care about my fragile nerves at all", Mary finally agreed with Catherine reluctantly as agreed.

On the other hand, Mr. Bennet finally agreed on what kind of decent gift he would give Brett in return.

"It's a good thing we only know him." Not their family.

Mr. Bennet sighed privately to Elizabeth, "Otherwise we would have to give Lydia back to him."

Elizabeth also joked back: "If you do this, with the pounds that Lydia can earn now, it may be your loss."

Mr. Bennet listened, and fell silent suddenly.

Elizabeth couldn't hear her father's answer for a long time, and looked back suspiciously, only seeing the back of Mr. Bennet.
